Recording screencasts and post-processing them for publishing on sites like YouTube or as HTML5 videos was a tedious and error-prone task for me up until some months ago: Recording software like recordMyDesktop, istanbul or xvidcap didn’t produce good results, if working at all. Video editors like avidemux, cinelerra, kdenlive or kino were lacking important features, had a cumbersome user interface or crashed in the twinkling of an eye.
